Hyacinth here...

Here is one of the hyacinths I have forced this winter.

Poinsettias

It was interesting to read a recent article about Six Homespun Medical Myths Debunked. It talked about Poinsettias which bring so much holiday mood into any home they enter. It turned out that Poinsettias aren't poisonous anymore. This is a good news for folks with pets and young children :)

Winter Solstice...

Finally, winter solstice has occurred yesterday morning, now we can look forward for slowly growing longer days. Officially winter has started bringing in a lot of snow. It seemed that I am living in a winter wonderland...

Happy Holidays!!!

To bring some holiday cheer, I baked some cookies & muffins. Happy Holidays to you all!!

Hyacinths are indoors now!

I have got my Hyacinth bulbs indoors to get some sunlight and grow after a dormant period of about 10 weeks in my unheated garage. It was fun to see its roots shoot and now looking forward for the blooms. I am hoping to see some foliage and flower around new year.
